Biography

Dr Sabine Schmoelzl is a Senior Research Scientist and team leader with CSIRO Agriculture and Food based in Armidale, leading research in the areas of livestock reproduction and production. The research is focussed on developing novel phenomics approaches to complex industry problems.

Dr Schmoelzl works to improve lamb survival utilising on-animal sensor technologies to assess ewe lambing behaviours and metabolic activity, along with pen-side metabolic marker measurements of neonatal lamb metabolic status. Dr Schmoelzl co-leads research to develop novel markers for dark cutting in beef, using proteomics analysis to identify candidates for rapid test technology. Dr Schmoelzl also leads in inter-disciplinary research investigating strategies to increase drought resilience of Australian livestock production. Dr Schmoelzl has conducted research in Germany, Canada, Kenya and Australia.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
